Brentford moved to within a point of the play-off places with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Cardiff. After extending their lead, Brentford took their foot off the gas but only after Benrahma's curling effort was palmed wide by Etheridge after 52 minutes. But with the Bees coasting, Cardiff hit back strongly and forced the Londoners into a flurry of errors. Brentford were on the ropes, and with Cardiff winning most first and second balls, had to endure an aerial bombardment. We said at half-time that we needed to go for the second goal and kill the game, but when they scored I didn't like it.
